Anything But Standard #1 – Pilot Episode

Our very own content writer, Stuart “MrShy” Waddicor teams up with another UK tournament grinder, Renfield, to kick off a brand new podcast sponsored by Magic Madhouse. Listen to their pilot episode here.

Our first episode! An hour and twenty whole minutes of us finding our feet and learning how to cast! We had great fun recording this first episode (although MrShy found it very tiring, especially with the editing afterwards) and can’t wait to do more. Here’s our show notes:

Guest:

Jamie Williams, UK PPTQ Grinder, GP regular and Modern Brewer.

Intro

MrShy and Renfield provide a quick intro and introduce Jamie

MrShy intro, credentials etc

Renfield intro, credentials etc

Mission statement for the show, what we want to offer and why you should listen to us! (Modern, Brewing, EDH, Casual, Community Issues, The MTG political climate)

Your week in Magic: Each host takes a few minutes to talk about what they’ve been up to that’s Magic related, this week.

Renfield on how far you can stretch the concept in casual formats.
What do these types of decks translate like into kitchen table Magic and Commander? (taking the idea into Sultai, and revisiting Grixis)

Sultai = Tasigur or Sidisi

Grixis = Nekusar or Jeleva Nephalia’s Scourge

Can’t touch this.

A brief chat about the phasing out of landwalk and intimidate and the scaling back of unblockable.

Interaction as part of the game, and things that still seem to break the MTG NWO view, like emblems and poison counters. (Poison counters not so much IMO, since they’re just trackers for a mechanic, like experience counters or +1/+1 counters – MrShy)

Does the current direction of rules changes suggest that Wizards may make these objects interactive eventually?
